The Patagonia Boulder Guide Book by Cast Iron Design is an eco-oriented publication that was created in partnership between the two brands to offer visitors a sustainable book for maximizing their visit to the Colorado city.
The book is crafted with paper that is 100% PCW recycled in order to help enhance the carbon-neutral profile of it thanks to chlorine-free recycled fibers. The ink for the publication was sourced from Living Ink and features an algae base that has been processed before making it suitable for printing. This comes as a more eco-friendly alternative to petroleum-based pigments that are commonly found in the inks in publications.
8,000 copies of the Patagonia Boulder Guide Book by Cast Iron Design have been printed and circulated.
